Evaluation of Monascus purpureus fermentation in dairy sludge-based medium for enhanced production of vibrant red pigment with minimal citrinin content
by Samira Moradi, Seyed Ali Mortazavi
This study aimed to explore the production of red pigment from Monascus purpureus in waste culture medium and its potential health benefits. Subsequently, the M. purpureus cultivated in a medium containing dairy sludge as waste, the extracted pigment was purified, and subjected to various analyses, including liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to verify its purity, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the citrinin levels...
